Harvey House holding LGBTQ prom

TOLEDO, Ohio (WNWO) - June is pride month. This weekend, Harvey House in Toledo is doing something special for its community. It's hosting a prom for LGBTQ teens.

“It’s part of the high school experience,” said Leo Lowry, who spends time at Harvey House.

“I went last year, but not for my senior year,” said Lowry.

Leo Lowry admits, there are a stereotypical guy and girl duo for the dance.

“I’m transgender,” said Lowry.

It’s a mold that doesn’t fit everyone.

“This guy saw us together and said I wasn’t a real guyso I shouldn’t be with a girl,” said Lowry.

Lowry said those comments influenced the decision to skip out on senior prom. But this weekend, Lowry is dusting off the dancing shoes for the Harvey House event. Harvey House is a drop in community center for LGBTQ and allied teens.
